Coach Mike Mularkey said he was "hopeful" Casey would play earlier this week, but that seems unlikely after this missed practice. One of the best defensive lineman in the league, Casey will be missed against the Broncos.

A.J. Green (hamstring) has been ruled out for Week 14 against the Browns.

There was never any question he would sit this week, but he has been working on the side fields with trainers during practice. It is possible Green will return next week. Brandon LaFell will continue to operate as the No. 1 receiver with Tyler Eifert and Tyler Boyd taking on big roles as well.

There was never any doubt Griffin would be activated as the team confirmed he will be the starting quarterback the rest of the way barring injury. Despite getting the starting nod, the offense around Griffin is too poor and the risk of an in-game injury is too high to trust him in standard leagues. OL Matt McCants was waived in a corresponding move.

It is not a surprise considering he practiced in full all week. With Denard Robinson (ankle) out and Chris Ivory (hamstring) questionable, Yeldon should have a bigger than normal workload this week. He is still just a low-end RB3 in a tough matchup with the Vikings.

Lawrence also did not practice Thursday after getting in a limited session Wednesday, suggesting he suffered some kind of setback. His availability for this week is completely up in the air. Lawrence only has one sack in eight games this season.

Reed admitted he was still in pain after Thursday's practice, but it looks like he plans to play through it this week. Reed will likely be listed as questionable when the injury report comes out later Friday and is shaping up as a game-time decision.
